More about me

I am the author of two novels, 201 Atwater and Honeysuckle Hill both of which are available through Amazon.com and through my website: www.marionmarchetto.com. My books are historical fiction and are told from the perspective of the house itself as history happens in and around it. A third book in the series is in the works. Tentatively titled Oak Cliff it is a bit 'darker' than the first two although still told from the house's view point. 

I am married 36 years; mom to 3 loving cats; working full time as an Administrative Assistant. I am currently living two miles from the most beautiful beaches in the U.S. I enjoy writing most of all and reading; also enjoy crocheting when the time allows.
